Powerfull and consistent beachbreak that sticks out into the Pacific, assuring constant swell. You will rarely be surfing under head high here.

It can be perfect sometimes, delivering a nice barrel, but at other times you might see the barelling waves all over the place, but have trouble finding that perfect wave for yourself!

Hermosa is actually a several mile long stretch of beach, and you can go surfing anywhere along beach. There are a few distinct areas people surf:

 
• Cabinas: right behind the cabinas that line the beach, Cabinas Las Olas being an example.           

• The Gate: if you are coming from Jaco, right after you pass Cabinas Las Olas, turn right onto the dirt road.           

• The Tree: Drive down a little more past the gate, and you will see a huge tree on your right, probaly with few surfer’s cars parked underneath.           

• Tulin Rivermouth: Continue driving past The Tree for a while, and your surfing at Tulin. VERY powerfull rivermouth beachbreak, usually a little bigger than the rest of Hermosa.
